Based on his comments at the time it seemed bigger than that - the players' body language at the time was a world away from the previous season as well - something must have been going on behind the scenes.

It’s absolutely pathetic not sure why people are making excuses
“but but but at the time it didn’t feel great who knew that we would….”
yeh that’s exactly the point you melons
time for a few new usernames I reckon

If you have a one man battering ram up front you don’t need someone up there with him, you need the midfield behind him getting more of the ball and getting forward in numbers to support him.

Are you going to pretend this was a real comment now?

so funny that we were talking about how few wins we had in 12 months - we have since won 8 out of 12
End of september I would have been happy with 20th in the league
2 weeks ago I would have been happy with 12th
After yesterday (albeit depends on if our team is broken up in January) I would be disappointed if we do not reach the play offs
I would say our midfield and forwards are as good as anything else in the division
Our weak link on paper is the keeper and defence, but then look at the clean sheets and the quality of the recent performances
Surprised Southgate hasnt looked at taking the whole back line to Qatar

I didn't see him play but I think it is unlikely he wasn't good enough. I don't recall SlowerThanPlatt (haven't seen him for a while btw) ever raving about a player of ours but he seemed to know a lot about this lad and rated him highly and Palace fans also seem to think he has a good future. He is young and it isn't that surprising he didn't settle.

Nothing to be proud of. Even your right occasionally.

Body language doesn't tend to be great when you're losing. The point is we will never know if there were issues, and that's a good thing.

Yes where is Slowerthanplatt? Hope it's all good in the hood with him.

Worked a treat with Godden too in league 1 winning season. It's not just about having a battering ram.

Robins alluded to there being problems at the time that had been resolved.

It’s not hindsight if people were saying we’d be ok at the time is it.

No, but I think having a forward with the strength and pace of Gyo is an extra that messes up the opposition that bit more. Nobody will enjoy playing against him unless they're willing to stick 2 or 3 players on him.

No, but the situation at the time wasn't looking rosy and none of us has a crystal ball. I'm all for living in hope.

It’s also a fact that all of those issues still remain
Could it have been the financial issues?

Interesting stat, but last year we fell away towards the end of the season. If we can learn from that, and avoid injuries, and maybe add one or two bodies in January, then the playoffs are a realistic target.

I love how we can all join arm in arm and celebrate a good win together.
Narrator: 'But SBT had other ideas.'
In fairness reading some of this stuff really gives me a chuckle, even reading my own bile. This thread is probably a classic now though; P45's, suicide hotlines, Glicko turf wars, a comparison to the 1919 squad - where clearly many of our players were killed fighting in World War One.
If this place had a subscription fee, I would pay it.

Calling Elon Musk to the thread.
Happy to have had my head well and truly in the sand. We stopped the shit goals and built from there. I'd have been way more worried if I felt like we were getting totally obliterated week in week out.

That’s true.
Gyok thought process:
“Right, I’ve turned my marker, got into the box time to lay it to one of the attacking mids I’ve caught in the corner of my eye who are running in - they will be able to hit the target”
(looks up, it’s Calum and Jamie)
“Holy fooks, gonna have to shoot myself”.
